My life seems to be split into halves. Most of the time I have to write on essays. But often I find better things to do, so I end up taking pictures of myself :) This time I tried to rebuild a chair from the 18th century. My dad calls it a pseudo baroque chair. Well I tried myself in working as an upholsterer. Fortunately I know people still working as craftspeople, otherwise I would not have dared to really breath new life into this chair which has been painted gold under the white paint coming off. First I decided to take anthracite as a fabric to cover the chair. I ended up with rosa, realising that it really fits my blogs name (my name) as well and that I will never stop to like that colour (you were right, Sophie) Anyhow it was lots of work to "animate" this piece of furniture and my back hurt devilish. I think this was just the beginning of reforming many other chairs, I might even find a couch! This pictures should be only about the new chair, of course!
